In the evening, outside the General Staff Office Building, a sentry came to the post at the door in neat steps and gave a standard military salute to his comrades who were standing upright as straight as a slack. Then the two of them had a brief exchange. The new sentry took over his comrades and stood tall on the post, staring at everything in front of the General Staff Office Building with vigilance and rigorousness.

At the same time, in the parking lot not far away, more than a dozen drivers responsible for driving for the leader either looked at the General Staff Office Building with only lights, raised their arms to look at the watches they wore, ran to their car to check the situation, or gathered together in groups to talk about some interesting things in the army. However, no matter what, each of them showed a hint of anxiety overwhelmingly.

But at this moment, I don’t know who called out: “The chiefs are out!” All the eyes of these head drivers who were waiting patiently gathered at the door of the General Staff Office Building. The sentry who had just completed the change of duty had raised the gun in front of him and made a standard gun-raising ceremony.

These leaders and drivers are all experienced veterans. When they see this scene, they naturally know what is going on. Then, as if they receive an emergency order, they immediately stop what they have in their hands and quickly rush to their respective vehicles. In a moment, the sound of cars starting in the entire parking lot sounded...

"I really didn't expect that this old Liu is really worthy of Liu Dadan, and he actually put forward such a bold idea!" While the leaders and drivers were eager to prepare, more than ten senior officers suddenly surged out of the General Staff Office Building, and the long meetings for several hours left unconcealed fatigue on their faces.

However, it was more surprisingly incredible and inexplicable excitement, so that even if these senior military leaders walked out of the General Staff Office Building, they would whisper in two or three, whisper in three or five, and discuss the meeting that had just ended. As soon as a tall and thin senior military officer finished speaking, a short and fat military cadre who was parallel to him took the conversation:

"Old Zhou is right. Whether it is setting up a special weapon and equipment import and export company, implementing independent operation policies, or 40% of the army, 40% of the weapon and equipment manufacturer, and 20% of the import and export company, no matter which one is authentic capitalism, I want to say that Lao Liu is simply to be a complete arms dealer!"

"Old Wu, you can't say that. What Liu Haotian said at the meeting is still very reasonable!" As soon as the short and fat Old Wu finished speaking, another leading cadre who was walking with them said earnestly:

"Didn't he say that although we now have foreign trade exports of weapons and equipment from the Third Bureau of the General Staff, this institution is just an organization under our General Staff. Such military and government-type institutions are really unjustified in engaging in commercial activities. What's more, they are subject to foreign trade, diplomacy, customs, transportation, etc., and often finalize an arms sales agreement, and in turn, they have to argue with these government departments. In this way, it would be strange if they don't suffer losses in the unpredictable business field.

In addition, the Third Bureau of the General Staff is too tied to our army and government, and it is easy to be held by others and thus become an excuse to attack our country. Even if our country wants to refuse, it will not be able to refuse. However, Western arms dealers are different. There is actually a shadow of a big country behind them.

But once there is a problem, it is difficult to find the affairs of these governments, because they are purely commercial factors or the behavior of arms dealers. At most, the country where they are located is a poor supervision. It is a matter of punishment for arms dealers involved in the world. It is much more flexible than our current weapon and equipment sales model! Anyway, no matter what, I think Lao Liu really mentioned this issue to the essence at the meeting!"

"Well, Lao Zhao is right!" As soon as the words named Lao Zhao were finished, the tall and thin senior officer named Lao Zhou agreed and nodded:

"Not to mention anything else, just take the arms sales to Iran as for example. It is not what Lao Liu said at the meeting. Iran came to me. Even if we received it, we did not have the right to finalize it as soon as possible. In addition to reporting it layer by layer, we also had to communicate and coordinate with more than a dozen departments including the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the State Planning Commission, etc., which made us lose the opportunity;

Contacting Iran to sell weapons and equipment itself violates the UN resolution on the arms embargo on Iran. What's more, we have been reinforcing the permanent member of the United Nations for a few years. The resolutions involved are also in line with international norms and are unlikely to violate this resolution on the surface. Therefore, when the West uses this to put pressure on us, our room for maneuver is indeed very small.

Therefore, I think that even if the method proposed by Lao Liu is bold, it is still a good method. After all, we achieved very good results in arms sales to Pakistan last year, proving that the export of weapons and equipment is indeed a good way to alleviate the difficulties of the current troops and military systems. However, last time, the senior management personally arrested it and established a joint working group composed of more than a dozen departments, so it was implemented relatively quickly. However, we cannot set up such a working group every time the arms sales, so there is indeed a breakthrough in this regard!”

"Look at you two, what did I say about Lao Liu just now? You two are like machine guns, and they are still talking endlessly!" As soon as Lao Zhou finished speaking, Lao Wu looked at the two old colleagues beside him in anger. Lao Zhou and Lai Zhao, who were walking side by side with him, didn't understand what Old Wu was thinking, especially Lao Zhou, who was cheerful, asked with a smile:

"What? Could it be that I told Lao Zhao wrongly, right?"

"You don't know, you two really made a mistake!" Hearing Old Wu's words, both Old Zhao and Old Zhou flashed a look of surprise on his face, and Old Wu smiled proudly when he saw this:

"You just mentioned Lao Liu's opinion and Lao Liu's thoughts. Didn't you hear Lao Liu say at the meeting that the original proposer of the whole solution was a man named Lu Jiadong?"

As soon as Lao Wu finished his words, Lao Zhao admitted with a smile: "Yes, yes, indeed, when Lao Liu was asked by Comrade Xiaoping, who had just arrived at the meeting, he did say that it was originally proposed by Lu Jiadong of Wanshan Factory!"

However, as Lao Zhao said, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his head a little, and said in a deep voice to the two colleagues beside him:

"But then again, I heard that Lu Jiadong is indeed extraordinary. He is not old and has developed a small military factory in the southwest into a key factory with his talent. Whether it is the Type 79 assault rifle, it should be a light automatic grenade launcher or a new type of artillery, it has become a good thing that the troops are rushing to equip it!"

"That's right!" Old Zhou nodded to lower his voice: "I also heard that Lu Jiadong played an extremely critical role in the arms sales to Pakistan last year. In addition, the Third Bureau of the General Staff and the General Staff Equipment Department once quarreled for this talent!"

"I heard that the Second Department of the General Staff wanted to take Lu Jiadong to their place a few days ago, but was blocked by Liu Haotian, which made the leaders of the Second Department have no choice!"

"I heard about what Lao Wu said, but after that, if my subordinates have such talents, I will not let go!" As Lao Zhou said, he shook his head helplessly: "It's a pity that I don't have this blessing. I have so many units in charge, and I can't find a talent like Lu Jiadong!"

"What a pity for you, Lao Zhou? I'm the same with Lao Wu! Otherwise, how could I be called a talent? I heard that Lu Jiadong was included in the third echelon for training. Now it seems that this is true. I didn't hear what Comrade Xiaoping said when talking about Lu Jiadong, "I think this little devil is very good, with ideas, motivation and courage!" If a young cadre can have such an evaluation, what future does it have..."

Lao Zhao didn't finish his words, but the meaning was self-evident. The old Wu and Lao Zhou, who were beside him, were not the old foxes who had been in the officialdom for many years. Naturally, they could understand it and nodded meaningfully. But at this moment, an urgent and messy footsteps came from behind the three of them, and the three of them looked back.

I saw Liu Haotian, director of the Third Bureau of the General Staff, Tan Bin, director of the General Staff Equipment Department, and Wang Chuanchen, director of the Planning Department, running out of the office building urgently. Liu Haotian looked extremely anxious and used his flexible body to pass through the crowd quickly. He ran to his jeep in three steps in two steps, and then ordered the driver to start the car immediately. Then he shouted anxiously at Tan Bin and Wang Chuanchen who were behind:

"Fast! It will be too late to slow down for a while!"

Tan Bin and Wang Chuanchen didn't answer either. They all ran to the front of the car quickly and put on the car with a tall man. Then Liu Haotian shouted to the driver:

“Go to the train station, hurry!”

"Yes!" Seeing that the leaders were so anxious, the driver naturally did not dare to neglect. He quickly let go of the handbrake and turned wildly. After kicking the accelerator, the whole car ran towards the train station like a wild horse. Liu Haotian and others were extremely quick, which surprised the more than ten senior officers present. Old Wu, Old Zhou and Old Zhao were even more so. At this moment, Tan Bin's confidential secretary hurried over, and Old Zhao hurriedly grabbed him with a quick eye:

"This is your Minister Tan?"

"Report to the head of the report, Lu Jiadong from Wanshan Factory will be leaving Beijing by car tonight......"
Chapter completed!
